My Allergist Results

I had my yearly allergist appointment last week. I am still allergic to cow's milk and casein and whey proteins. Basically anything that comes from the cow, but the beef. I will just continue avoiding all dairy. I just replace those dairy options with the plant and nut based options and they seem to do the job. There are plenty of delicious dairy free milks, ice creams, yogurts, cheeses etc. out there for me to eat. I love chocolate almond milk and coconut milk ice cream. Sometimes it can be hard when I am out an about and I just want to grab a high calorie snack, but Mom is never afraid to ask what's in a item or if they can make it without dairy. Lots of people with Cystic Fibrosis eat a lot of dairy because you can get a lot of calories from those food items. I don't know what I am missing so it is all good. There is a chance that I could grow out of the allergy as I get older. My allergist thinks that me living on only IV fluids for the first few months of life and being on an antacid since birth could have altered my natural chemistry and therefore resulted in the dairy intolerance.

I am still growing and staying very healthy throughout this snowy, cold winter. I know all about Purell and hand washing. I take extra Vitamin D and supplements to keep my vitamin levels from being to low. I should get my vitamin levels from my blood work tomorrow. I also take cod liver oil everyday. The DHA in fish oil in known to keep inflammation down in the body. This should benefit my lungs as well as the rest of my body.

Can you believe I will be three years old March 10th! I am so excited to be three! I have been going on the big boy potty since around Christmas time. I still wear diapers to bed at night, but I sport the big boy undies all day!

My Uncle Adam was just in town to visit from Hawaii! It was so great to see him! My Aunt Annie got married last weekend and I was the ring bearer. Mom will post pictures when she gets them. She stood up in the wedding and Dad had to help me down the aisle while I cried the whole time. Mom and Dad were both involved in the festivities, so they couldn't snap the pictures :0

I will update the blog when I get my additional blood work and urinalysis back this week. Birthday pictures to come!
